It’s that time of year. The Rise Up Conference is doing their call for proposals.

📢Rise Up Conference is now accepting presentation proposals! This is your chance to inspire and engage with a dedicated audience at our virtual event on September 8-9, 2025.📢

We're looking for enthusiastic individuals, whether you're a system-impacted academic, doctor, lawyer, program director, or practitioner, to share your expertise and insights.

We welcome proposals from Allies as well! However, we ask that Ally presentations are co-presented with someone who is system-impacted. This ensures authenticity and centers the voices of those with lived experience.

Don't miss out! Applications close on July 3, 2025.

Submit your proposal now and help us shape another impactful event! Stay tuned for more updates by following us on social media and subscribing to our mailing list at www.riseupconference.org
